Rogers struggled in medium and high leverage situations. Almost anybody can pitch in blowouts or when trailing. I don't know why Toronto made that trade, but I'd like to personally shake Anthopoulos's hand for it.

A God Damn dead man would understand that if a minor league bus in any city took a real sharp right turn, a Zack McCalister would likely fall out. - Lead Pipe

With Yan playing so well I suspect we'll see more and more of Santana at 1B. That should help him get his legs back under him. To compensate, his hips when he swings are all over the place. And then his leg kick is too high so his swing is now super long.

At this point I'd be willing to take another month of suck from Santana just so long as we keep winning games.

Ballgame! Damn, this is FUN! I gotta get to Cleveland!

Halladay was hurt when we beat him, too. It's great being the first team in ML history to beat seven Cy Young winners before June 1, but we were lucky with a couple of them not being 100%.

Man, we got some pitchers who are locked in right now. Masterson, Ubaldo, and McAllister are rocking. Of course, Seattle came in ranked 14th out of 15 in runs scored, so take it with a grain of salt, but they're still pitching extremely well.

Masterson already has 7 wins and he'll get a couple more starts this month. He should make his first All-Star appearance if he can keep this up, or even close to it.

Another great win yesterday..... didn't get a chance to watch live but I caught it on delay and stayed away from the internet beforehand so I was in the dark.

One thing i didn't get is why Francona used Hill again?!

I know we have another LHP in Huff in the pen but, he's really a long man only. So, with another game today against this lefty heavy lineup, using your match-up lefty reliever for the 3rd straight game when it's 6-0 in the 8th seems odd to me.
